La crue historique de Paris eu lieu en Janvier 1910. L'abondance des pluies et un dégel important suivi par les débordements de l'Yonne, du Loing et du Grand Morin, provoquèrent une montée des eaux inédite depuis 1658. Les quais de la Seine avaient été conçus de façon à résister à un niveau proche de celui atteint en 1876. Ce ne sera pas suffisant. En moins de 10 jours, le niveau du fleuve culminera le 28 janvier à 8m62 ! 20000 immeubles seront inondés à Paris, 30000 maisons en banlieue ainsi que la moitié du métro (voir carte). Les dégâts les plus importants seront constatés à Gennevilliers et à Villeneuve la Garenne. Epinay sur Seine et Saint Denis ne seront pas épargnées. La Seine mettra 35 jours à décroître, laissant derrière lui un profond traumatisme et d'énormes répercussions économiques.

In their book ‘Atlas of Novel Tectonics’ the architects Reiser and Umemoto, point out the necessity of a new perception of a matter and energy relationship, one where the architecture plays a significant role in becoming the mediator between the environment and material expression. They argue for an architecture that is not literally animate, but an architecture that ‘its substance, its scale, its transitions and measurement will be marked by the dilations and contractions of the energy field.’ The primacy of architecture consequently becomes not the ‘myth and interpretation’ but the ‘material and formal specificity’.

En esta tercera entrega de la serie Construire Autrement, nos acercamos a Pessac, localidad vecina a Bègles, donde se encuentra el barrio obrero Quartiers Modernes Frugès (QMF) proyectado por Le Corbusier y Pierre Jeanneret entre 1923 y 1926 por encargo del industrial bordolés Henri Frugès. Este caso, seguramente bien conocido por muchos de los lectores de este blog, nos servirá para debatir cuestiones como: cuál es la respuesta de los usuarios ante la estandarización del hábitat, si existe una tendencia latente en ellos a modificarlo y por qué, cuál es el equilibrio adecuado entre la preservación y la transformación del patrimonio habitado, y cuál es el rol de la participación ciudadana en este proceso.

How do we make decisions about where to live, how to get around, what places we value? If we believe that more and better information leads to better, sustainable decisions, where do we get our information? With contributions from experts in research, design, and the technology industry, Intelligent Cities offers an in-depth look at the past, present, and future of urban development.
This wide-ranging and readable book draws on the museum’s year-long Intelligent Cities initiative, an exploration of how data and information technology impact the way cities look, feel, and function. The book features original and award winning infographics commissioned by the museum and provides a context for today's issues in the history of technology and urban form, the telephone, the computer, mass media, and their impacts on human settlement and society.

Cette thèse se propose d'étudier le lien existant entre les lieux et les sites naturels d'une part, les modèles de cité de l'autre. Le contexte analysé est celui des villes de fondation, c'est-à-dire des villes planifiées et créées en un temps court, totalement constituées, résultant de modèles formels complets et le plus souvent engendrées par un pouvoir centralisé ou une décision concentrée. Dans l'histoire des villes, on peut dire que les villes de fondation réalisées les plus importantes sont les villes idéales grecques, les villes romaines, les villes royales, les villes coloniales européennes, les villes de l'industrie. Au XXe siècle les occasions de créer des ensembles urbains se raréfient au profit de l'extension. Toutefois plusieurs pays ont procédé à des créations des villes de tertiaire : le Brésil avec Brasilia, l'Inde avec Chandigarh et Navi Mumbai (New Bombay), la Chine avec Shenzhen, la Grande-Bretagne avec les New Towns comme c'est le cas de Milton Keynes, la France avec les Villes Nouvelles, dont Marne-la-Vallée ou encore La Grande-Motte.

Since the beginning of the movement there has been a problem as to what to call artistic works by members of the SI. It was understood that none of them was a situationist production, but what to call them? I propose a very simple rule: to call them ‘antisituationist.’ We are against the dominant conditions of artistic inauthenticity. I don’t mean that anyone should stop painting, writing, etc. I don’t mean that that has no value. I don’t mean that we could continue to exist without doing that. But at the same time we know that such works will be coopted by society and used against us. Our impact lies in the elaboration of certain truths which have an explosive power whenever people are ready to struggle for them. At the present stage the movement is only in its infancy regarding the elaboration of these essential points.

Every city is integrated (and segregated) in unique ways. Recently, cartographer Bill Rankin produced an astounding map of Chicago, which managed to show the city's areas of racial integration. Eric Fischer saw those maps, and took it upon himself to create similar ones for the top 40 cities in the United States. Fisher used a straight forward method borrowed from Rankin: Using U.S. Census data from 2000, he created a map where one dot equals 25 people. The dots are then color-coded based on race: White is pink; Black is blue; Hispanic is orange, and Asian is green. The results for various cities are fascinating: Just like every city is different, every city is integrated (or segregated) in different ways.

Human beings are not fully conscious of their real lives. Groping in the dark, overwhelmed by the consequences of their acts, at every moment groups and individuals find themselves faced with outcomes they had not intended […] What should be abolished continues, and we continue to wear away with it. We are engulfed. Separated from each other. The years pass and we haven’t changed anything.
We have invented nothing. We adapt ourselves, with a few variations, into the network of possible itineraries. We get used to it, it seems.
If it seems somewhat absurd to talk of revolution, this is obviously because the organized revolutionary movement has long since disappeared from the modern countries where the possibilities of a decisive social transformation are concentrated. But all the alternatives are even more absurd, since they imply accepting the existing order in one way or another.
